House siding repair
Has anyone gotten siding on their home repaired or replaced? Who did you use and did they meet your needs for quality of work and cost?

Maytag front load washer
Model MHW8630HW0.
Context: I took the dispenser housing out to give it a thorough cleaning. Reinstalled all water lines, reinstalled the pump motor and put it all together. Fixed one problem, but now I’m getting a suds error.
I checked the following items:
The drain hose at bottom of the dispenser housing is secure, not twisted or kinked.
cleaned the valve and plunger at the back of the dispenser housing and detergent drawer.
Purged the soap lines and cleaned out anything that may be clogging into or out of the pump.
put a voltmeter on the pump. Pump checks good
put a voltmeter on cold and hot water inlet valves. Valves check good.
Double checked water hoses were not twisted. They are installed correctly. I labeled them before removing them (ask me how I know to do that and I’ll tell you a funny airplane story with flight controls!).
We are using HE laundry detergent
I cannot think of anything else that I already researched on this thing. Knowing my luck, I rabbit holed so hard into this that I feel like I’m overlooking something really easy.
Please, make this aircraft mechanic who repairs all our stuff at home feel like a dumbbass

Colossus build
My version of a tornado colossus my players faced tonight. Loved the one someone else posted a while ago, that I wanted to do one as well.
For those that want the build directions: one 12” floral cone (Flower section of Hobby Lobby. $6.99), Polyfill (stuffing for teddy bears), 12.5 gauge electric wire (always have a spool on the farm, but can get at TSC, Atwoods, Orschlens, etc.)
I cut the styrofoam in half and cut. An angle off it to give the tornado a slight bend. I used several wooden dowels and hot glue to pin it together. I used about 2 feet of the 12.5 gauge wire to wrap around and give it form and a structure to keep it from tipping over. I sawed a circular base from wood and drilled a screw from the bottom and hotglued and impaled the bottom of the funnel. I cut out some cardboard for the thunderhead and hotglued ployfill for the top. I then hotglued polyfill around the styrofoam.
Finally, I got about another 12” of the wire and secured it from the cardboard to the base and wrapped fairylights all the way down and hid the controller in the thunderhead. If you spray a mix of water and white elmers glue, you can shape the polyfill to show a directional twist. I used some flat black to spray paint at a distance to paint the polyfill since I don’t have an airbrush.
Players loved the reveal.

Artwork question
I really like some of those bright computer generated art pieces, for example, the latest one in the Homebrew that was recently posted. I’m old and I still do hand drawings. I’d like to freshen up my own drawings. How do you artists draw such cool things with a mouse? I’m okay if you call me a boomer. My 13yo and 10yo do it all the time. I got thick skin, hah. Are you using a computer program? Something else? I’d like to make my Witherwild Sentinel (solo) homebrew and some other creatures into computer art and share. My art teacher in 1986 didn’t show us that kind of technique. 🤣
